Guest guest Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 it's funny you say that, because I have always thought of myself as a hot mamma, no matter what my size. I am surprised when I see photos of myself looking fat, because that's not how I feel. So I guess I have it in reverse. Having said that, it always scares me when my legs get smaller. Something inside me wonders if those little legs (which really aren't little) will support my weight, and I feel more vulnerable, as if someone could hurt me easier when I'm smaller. Weird old things our minds. > Sooooo with all this said and done..... how does one ever get these > mind games or mind baggage out of the way???? once you do lose all > the weight you want to lose.... what good does it do to lose it if > you still feel like you are obese or fat??/ i ahve a hard enough time > trying to fight these mind games my brai tries to toss at me when i > might lose 10lbs... or eat right or do a good workout... when does > this battle end??? > > gypsi ( who has a long way to go.. just wanting to file this away for > future reference..) > > > > > > > > The body can change much faster than the mind. > > > > > > Gloria, you've done a great job.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 I have lost 75 lbs in last year and I still battle with the feeling I am still fat, I am at 151.5 now and my goal wgt. is 125. When I get this feeling, what I do is look at my before and after pictures, and the new clothes I have and say to myself look how far I have gotten and how great I look, and think of all the compliments I get, I am told this feeling will come and go for a long time, but you know there will be a day when it will never be there again. Hang in there, you are doing good, there is a lot of support in here. Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 You know what I have always called that ??? Fat Brain. We just think we are fat even when we aren't. Like I said in my post the other day, I wish I were as fat as I USED to be.....(of course I would kill to be 150 again and I will be) But looking back now I can't believe I thought I was fat THEN! Make that fit body beat up that fat brain!!! You are doing great! Work that brain too. Remind yourself of what you are doing for your health on the inside as well as your looks on the outside. Re-train your brain too. I know it is hard, but you CAN do it!!!...and when I get to where you are I hope you will remind me of the same thing!!! Have a great day!
